Book: The Titan’s Curse by Rick Riordan

Pages/Format: 312/Hardcover

My Thoughts: Of the 3 books I’ve read, this is probably my favorite.  It was fast-paced and I couldn’t put it down.  In The Titan’s Curse, Percy goes on a quest to find Artemis and his friend Annabeth, who both go missing. 

I didn’t find myself annoyed with Percy, or comparing the series to Harry Potter.  I still find there are similarities, but they weren’t noticeable in this book.  The mythology element has been one of the very few redeeming qualities of the series, and I loved the focus on Artemis in this book.  I’m still not of the 1st-person perspective for this series, but it worked well for this particular book, and his writing style didn’t bother me like it did in the previous 2 books. 

I was iffy on whether I wanted to continue the series, but this book made me want to finish it.

Rating: I give it a 4 out of 5, because I liked the focus on Artemis.  Plus, it sets up the last 2 books in the series fairly well.
